Influenza responds to AIDS: Xiao Ai, you are lonely again, the causative agent of anthrax is Bacillus anthracis, and during the Second World War, Bacillus anthracis was listed as the first biological warfare agent.
AIDS Returns to Flu: The First Biological Warfare Agent?! Is there such an NB? Ask for an autobiography!

Typhoid Fever: Great God! Autobiography!
Hepatitis B: Great God! Autobiography!
Dengue Fever: Great God! Autobiography!

Anthrax: The autobiography of this god is as follows.
My name is Anthrax, that's the name humans gave me.
I have many other aliases - "anthrax", "splenic prolapse", "Siberian ulcer......
My deity is a bacterium.
Humans call this bacterium "Bacillus anthracis".
My deity looks like a small bamboo pole with flat ends, the length of a human red blood cell.
The average human red blood cell is 7 microns in diameter, while I can be up to 8 microns in length.
It's just that human red blood cells are oval, and I'm bamboo pole-shaped, so I look much slimmer than red blood cells.
Of course, I'm a big one in the bacterial family, at least a little bigger than cholera and plague, and much bigger than a virus.
There are many places where I usually like to live, soil, water, air...... There may be me.
I like to live in animals the most, elephants, hippos, African antelopes in wild animals, cows, sheep, horses and pigs in domestic animals.
Of course, humans are also one of the many animals that I love.
I have tenacious vitality and general disinfectants don't work well for me.
And, in a harsh environment, I can become a spor, like an animal hibernating without eating or drinking.
My spores can lie dormant in the soil and other harsh environments for decades, and once they meet the right conditions, the spores will activate and continue to reproduce.
With my tenacious vitality and wide range of hosts, I am rampant all over the earth.
I was able to enter the host body in many ways: skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract......
When I enter the host through broken skin, the human skin will develop erythema, papules, and blisters, and the surrounding tissue will swell, infiltrate, and necrosis to form an ulcerative black eschar, at which point I am called cutaneous anthrax.
When I am eaten into the stomach by the host, the host will have fever, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and bloody stools, at which time I am called gastrointestinal anthrax.
When I was sucked into the lungs by the host, the host soon had difficulty breathing, coughing, chest pain, and coughing up mucus and bloody sputum, at which point I was called pulmonary anthrax.
I was also able to enter the host's brain, causing severe headaches, delirium, coma, and respiratory failure, at which point I was called meningitidis anthrax.
I was also able to enter the host's bloodstream, causing septic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation, spotting and large ecchymosis on the skin, active bleeding in the orifices, and rapid respiratory and circulatory failure, at which point I was called sepsis anthrax.
While I'm running amok through the world, humans are looking for ways to deal with me.
Humans use my attenuated strain brother to make a live attenuated vaccine, immunizing people and animals, so that the host can gain immunity against me and stop my transmission.
Various antibiotics have also been invented: penicillin, tetracycline, chlortetracycline, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, cephalosporins, erythromycin......
These antibiotics can kill me.
This directly lowered my lethality to the host.
Humanity is no longer afraid of me.
However, those measures of humanity can only limit the scale of my epidemic, and I cannot be exterminated.
I exist in the soil, in the air, in the water, and can lurk in the form of spores for many years, and when the conditions are right, I can return to the earth.
Plague reverts to anthrax: I know deeply about the experience of Brother Anthrax, and the monitoring network of human disease control has hit us too hard.
Anthrax reverts to the plague: this is our history of blood and tears.
AIDS returns to anthrax: Recently, there have been many bioterrorism incidents launched by humans using anthrax, and the status of the boss of biological warfare agents is not boasted.
Anthrax reverts to AIDS: Well, I am easy to cultivate, the infection routes are diverse, both humans and animals can be infected, the spores have strong resistance, can pollute the soil, water sources, can be diffused through aerosols, and the pollution is not easy to remove...... With so many benefits, I really have to choose to travel at home and kill people.
Influenza returns to anthrax: Brother Anthrax, the classic biological warfare agent, makes our virus world tremble!
